Loke: Westports expansion to double capacity to 28m TEUs, third Port Klang terminal planned at Pulau Carey

KLANG, Nov 5 — Westports Malaysia Sdn Bhd’s annual container handling capacity is expected to double from 14 million to 28 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) under its ongoing expansion, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said.

He said Port Klang would remain Malaysia’s most important maritime gateway and a major transhipment hub in Southeast Asia.

Loke said the government had also approved the development of a third port at Pulau Carey as part of Port Klang’s longer-term expansion plans.

“We will continue to expand our ports so that we can handle more capacity and more containers and we hope companies such as Daiso will continue to make Malaysia their global hub.
